Superior Mesenteric Artery Responses for Variant Meals by Color Doppler
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Duplex ultrasound (DU) is ultrasound techniques that provide a simple, portable, reproducible, and non-invasive assessment of blood flow. Doppler sonography is also the most affordable method to measure noninvasively the main characteristics of mesenteric artery blood flow. This technique demonstrate the measurement of luminal diameter and blood velocity, allows estimation of blood flow and peripheral resistance and the detection of arterial occlusive disease. Owing to its size and anatomic position, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is also accessible to DU. Applied to the superior mesenteric artery; this method confirms that blood flow in this vessel increases in response to a meal. The objectives of this study was to evaluate the contribution of the different meals types for the blood flow in the superior mesenteric artery after eating and determine the relative potencies of the major nutrient stimuli in healthy human subjects. This a Prospective, study using U/S technique of superior mesenteric artery assessment for different meals intake enhanced by color Doppler. The target population of this study was healthy volunteers presented to our department. Selection of participation was done through simple random sampling. Data collection sheet was designed to include all variables. The results of the study showed that the basal superior mesenteric artery blood flow volume (SMABFV) measurements were approximately near to similar in values for different four meals type. The mean basal SMABFV is 285 ml/min for grilled goat meat, 305 ml/min for beans meal, 299 ml/min for the cheese with yoghurt meal, and 278 ml/min for the jam with boiled egg meal, .The study recommended the usage of new ultrasound equipment version with Doppler capability to obtain accurate diagnosis. And results of different variables of SMA, further studies were recommended for assessment of SMA in illness patients with liver cirrhosis and other diseases.
